I'm running ubuntu 14.04 LTS on my computer with 7.8GiB Memory, Intel Core i5 CPU 760 @ 2.0GHz x 4 Processor, Gallium 0.4 on AMD REDWOOD Graphics, OS 64bits and 40GB of Disk.
Recently my network stop working and after digging a lot on google and here on this forum Im giving up on my research and making my problem public in here.
When I click on my network manager on the right of the top bar it wont show either the wired connection and wireless connections as it used to before.
The options that are current showed are:
- Ethernet Network (not active)
- device not managed (not active)
- VPN Connections
- Enable Networking (selected)
- Connection Information
- Edit Connections…
I tried a few things with my /etc/network/interfaces but nothing worked so far.
I've tried to manually add a network but without success so far and when I click on Connection Information I get a popup with an error saying "Error displaying connection information: – No valid active connections found!"
My /etc/network/interfaces file content:
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
I don't know what else I can do and I'm open to ideas.

The solution is to remove the non-default lines in the network device configuration in /etc/network.
For example, if
Appears in your
/etc/network/interfacesthen NetworkManager won't be able to manage theeth0interface.
